Fig. 4

For comparisons, the motilities of the WT PAO1 are presented by black symbols in the figure. A significant lower twitching motility (p = 0.03) and higher swarming motility (p = 0.0001) was observed in CIP-resistant colonies isolated from CIP compared to and CTRL biofilms. Mann–Whitney test was used for statistical analysis.
